I have a weatherby mark V in 340 weatherby. I have a leupold vx6hd 3X18X44 scope mounted on it using warne bases and rings. Several months ago i went to the range to break the rifle in. I started shoot at 30 yards to get it on paper, then moved the target to 100 yards where the gun was shooting off of a 100 yard target. At 100 yards i was a 12" off the paper and used all the adjustment in the scope it get within 8" of the center of target. I called Leupold and the first thing the rep says is the gun is tapped crooked. I said its possible but to me that is a long way to be off at 100 yards. I sent the scope in to leupold and mounted a zeiss 3X9 conquest on the rifle. Took it to the range and within 5 shots i am dead center at 100 yards. I get the scope back from leupold, mount the scope back on and head to the range. At 30 yards i am 2 inches high and 1" to the right. Shoot at 100 yards and i cant even hit the paper using a 100 yard standard rifle target. Am i crazy thinking it should hit paper at 100 yards. I don't understand why the leupold is so far off but the zeiss isn't. I would appreciate any advice thanks.
